So, to recap: Kicker leaves strip club with strip club worker. Kicker wants to take strip club worker to hotel. Kicker backs SUV into parked car. Kicker finds self confronted by angry mob. Kicker flees into hotel lobby with strip club worker. Kicker asks for room but the hotel is full. Kicker abandons strip club worker in panic.

Upon searching the SUV, the police found a Broncos parking permit with Prater’s name on it. They later tracked him down at a nearby La Quinta hotel, gave him a roadside maneuvers test that he failed, and brought him to the police station, where he proceeded to get an acute case of the guilties.

Whether or not Prater actually is fired remains to be seen; the Broncos have said they’re disappointed in Prater’s “poor judgment,” and will be reviewing the matter internally. But even if Matt P. does get his walking papers, he’ll always have that magical night in the Hyatt parking lot.
